Holy crap
Anyone else's eye gets burned every time they play. For real I can only play for 15 mins before having to lie down XD

I used to because my eyes are super bad and the glasses I used weren't good enough, it went away after I got new glasses that fit my eyes though xD

You might want to calibrate your monitors. Not calibrating can stress your eyes.

Also using this free program is a free alternative to those gamer glasses.

Make sure you sleep for 8 hours each day at least. That really helps with eye irratation from looking at computer screens. If you can only handle 15 minutes, there might be a problem with your eyes so maybe go see a doctor.

Nope. That's weird.

Already check with a doctor. Says I am normal. Could be a mental thing? This never happens with other games (ever) But man this game jsut ♥♥♥♥♥ up my eyes.

Maybe turning down the brightness in the game menu will help.
Turn off Effects.
That should help reduce all those special effects and sparkness and stuff.

I find turning off the effects (plus eye drops) help reduce the tension. I just think my eyes are toooo senstive I guess lol

Many monitors give out blue light. This light not only goes through the eye but can cause muscular degeration, damaging your eyesight but can cause headaches, migraines and even nausea, which leads to vomiting. Even in many instances, people tend to forget to blink when watching television, playing videogames etc. If you have this problem, there are many forms of glasses that reduce eye strain, such as Gunnar glasses. You can also try to invest in screens that don't use blue lighting. If you're not used to the uncomfortability normally, then it could in fact be from the game. Certain lighting, motion blur, effects, these can all contribute. I'd recommend toying around with settings, playing for about 15-20 minutes to see if there's any issue and repeat it until you find a comfortable setting. Also, the person above me recommends eye drops. Yes. Use the lubricating kind, they work better than normal eye drops and can reduce redness and irritation better than what most claim.

Sorry if i havent reply. Been trying the gunnar but still hurts my eyes (lets me play at least for 20 mins longer). Best thing i can try next is maybe a diffrent monitor. But that will take weeks :(
